Review #19: A very interesting cigar, the shape obviously drawing me to it. I supose you cant expect the wrapper to look too flash when tiwsted like it is. Was was most surprising was how perfect the draw and burn were, both being just as good as any other cigar throughout the whole time smoked. Good partagas flavour, spicy dark and full bodied. THe quality of the cigar probably does not match the price, but it is one of the cigars that all aficonados should have tried. - Submitted by antonius on November 29, 2008

Review #18: My brother bought a coffin one day at our local cigar shop out of mere curiosity. After our first pull we were amazed! It was fantastic made us fall in love with Partagas Cigars. It has great pull, tasty flavor and is damn cool to smoke. A definite conversation starter. However I would only smoke it in the company of three good people or else I believe that it could spark an evil hex or voodoo if smoked alone? I wouldn't take the risk. It contains three cigars for a reason. A must try! 80% - Submitted by Cuba_Raff on September 6, 2008

Review #17: DEC 07 This one was a pleasant suprise. The cigar is ugly as hell but it taste fine. The draw and burning was perfect. Partagas Culebra has flavors like spiciness, black tea, black pepper and a hint of sweet leather at the end. 100% Partagas!

Review #16: Got 1 box from Partagas Factory in Havana.
Unlike the other ones,this time the culebras are hand made!
You get them for the pleasure, for the look and that's it.
It is always nice to see in your humi.
I tried them with 2 friends of mine, and it was ok.
It comes in a cedar coffin and each box as 3 coffins.
Enjoy! - Submitted by beaver on September 8, 2007

Review #15: I go this box about 2 months ago, and after letting it settle in my humidor for 60 days, I was eager to try these out. This machine made cigar is from 2000 (LOC AGO 00), and although the machine made version was discontinued, a hand made version is supposed to be released soon. I enjoyed this out by the pool with my morning paper.
The Culebras is 39 RG, 146 mm, but numbers canít really describe the size of this cigar. It comes in a box of 25, 8 bundles of 3 cigars (each bundle wrapped in aluminum foil), and with 1 extra. Some written sources say that the extra cigar is straight, but mine was nicely twisted. After removing the label from the foil, and unwrapping the foil, I had three nicely braided cigars. The cigars are tied together with light twine, which can be cut or untwisted.
After unbundling, my cigar was pretty funky looking. Indentations remain at the head and foot where the twine had been, and since the three cigars had been pressed together, the cigar had all sorts of irregularities in its shape. Fortunately, these did not have any ill effect on the burn or draw of the cigar.
This cigar had a mild, light tobacco smell, and an easy draw. Because of the thin ring gauge it was necessary to draw lightly. After lighting up, I immediately enjoyed a smooth tobacco and light white pepper taste. Over the first third of the cigar, it had a kind of creamy smoothness that reminded me of a Partagas 898V.
Middle third, this cigar got a bit stronger. It did not have a strong kick and the relatively mild white pepper taste remained.
In the final third, this cigar developed a stronger, hot red pepper type taste. This cigar was strong and smooth to the end. I smoked this cigar until my fingers could no longer stand the pain.
In summary, this was a great cigar, lots of fun and definitely worth picking up if you can find some. Beyond the great look and shape this cigar had great taste compared to other machine mades I have sampled. I have taken these to some Sit Downs and they are a lot of fun to share with others.
